Like Sunshine Kids' Radian65SL, the RadianXTSL is made with a steel frame, which means it can be heavy to maneuver and carry around. The LATCH system must be re-routed when converting from rear-facing to forward-facing, which is tough to do with such a heavy car seat. The seat cover, which is hard to remove, has to be hand-washed. Bottom line: For the money, there are more user-friendly car seats on the market. skjp.com.
